Status:	Pending Moderation
Priority:	High
Added by:	XiaoLi on February 4, '26
Assigned to:	Unassigned
Due date:
Reported for:	9.4.1
Actual Result:	Pressing TAB interrupts the current interaction and stops progress.
Expected Result:	Pressing TAB should not interrupt the current interaction, and the match info panel should display while the action continues (as in previous versions).
Severity:	Blocker
Reproducibility:	Always
Platform:	Steam
Additional Notes & Comments:	Not set

Steps to Reproduce

1. Enter any match as a Survivor.
2. Begin repairing a generator (or healing, cleansing a totem, etc.).
3. While the progress bar is moving, press TAB to open match info.
4. Observe that the interaction is cancelled.

Explanation

TAB opens match info but interrupts interactions (undocumented behavior change)
Since update 9.4.1, the behavior of the TAB key has changed:

Previous behavior:
While Survivors were performing continuous interactions (repairing generators, cleansing/blessing totems, self-healing, healing teammates, opening chests, opening exit gates, etc.), pressing TAB would display real-time match information (player status, latency, roles, etc.) without interrupting the ongoing interaction progress.

Current behavior:
Pressing TAB during any of these interactions now immediately cancels the action, stopping the progress bar and requiring the player to restart the interaction.

Issue:
1.There is no mention of this change in the official patch notes, so it is unclear whether this is an intentional design change or a regression/bug.
